[D+ 6-10] Dammar to Dax

No, not THAT Damar, but a Dax and a Tom Paris! THE ENTRIES: [6] Dammar [7] Dark Time [8] Dauntless, USS [9] Davis, Bobby [10] Dax, Ezri Decipher's version for comparison: Decipher's version for comparison: NOTES:  [6] An army of these makes for lots of intrusion, or you could just be using them to staff your far-away ships. Source: "Displaced" [7] Your opponent reporting an Emperor has the same discarding effect. Basically, the card downloads a personnel as long as you have a personnel in hand. Source: "You Are Cordially Invited" [8] As an NX (experimental) ship, AtoZ has at least one card to boost the Dauntless. This is the frontpiece card for the P4 pack. Decipher has its own Dauntless (The Borg expansion), included for comparison. Source: "Hope and Fear" [9] Reminder that holo-personae can only play when a Holodeck is present. Source: "The Killing Game" [10] This card is the frontpiece for pack P1. Decipher's later version, in the ...

I'll mention the frontpieces visible to the customer when they come up. THE ENTRIES: [1] da Vinci workshop program Janeway-7 [2] Daelen [3] Daleth [4] Dalmine Sector [5] Dalvos Prime NOTES:  [1] In a Nor's Holosuite, no matching commander would be possible. Source: "Scorpion" [2] So you can switch Daelen as you uncover a gender-specific dilemma, for example. Source: "Vis à Vis" [3] The special download is regenerated every time opponent decides on Honor OR Treachery for your personnel. If opponent never does ("may"), you may still use your special download once per game, as usual. Source: "Living Witness" [4] The extra points require cards to have been assimilated by the time yo...

[D 336-338] Dyson Sphere to Dytallix B

The end of The Die Is Cast, before we head into Enhanced packs... THE ENTRIES: [336] Dyson Sphere [337] Dyson [338] Dytallix B NOTES:  [336] Ships wishing to attack the Dyson Sphere facility must enter the Sphere using 1 RANGE and Tractor Beam. An Away Team attempting the mission with the alternate requirements discard any Space dilemmas encountered. Only space/planet and misseeded planet dilemmas can be encountered. Once solved from the inside, the points are scored and it may not be attempted from the outside. If Explore Dyson Sphere is destroyed (like, by a Supernova) or moved, the Incident is destroyed or moved along with it. Source: "Relics" [337] Source: Referenced in Star Trek: First Contact [338] Not an obvious one, though your Feds can attempt it with your NAs, leaving their ship dangerously unattended. Bluegills all have the Fed infiltration icon, but it only takes one where it would take two changelings. Source: "Conspiracy" Next up: We get Enhanced! Card...

[D 331-335] Dvorak to Dynoscanner

Today: Some original crew content... THE ENTRIES: [331] Dvorak, Antonin [332] DY-500 [333] dylamadon [334] dynametric array [335] dynoscanner NOTES:  [331] Ooby Dooby's discards, however, are not limited to one. Source: "A Fistful of Datas" [332] Points are valid even if the ship is landed. Source: Referenced in "Up the Long Ladder", pic from "Space Seed" [333] Note that killing a personnel with Coalescent Organism will also kill the Organism. It will not be passed off to the next personnel. Source: "Man of the People" [334] Any Scan card represents any card with the word Scan in the title. Outposts are space facilities even if at planet locations (in the way they work, regardless of image). Source: "Playing God" [335] Plays on Bajoran and Cardassian prisoners, Malcorians, victims of Alien Kidnapping, etc. to put them into play without having to attempt the mission. Personnel aboard a Cryosatellite are under a SPACE mission, sorry. ...

[D 326-330] Duridium to Dust Shrouds

We got more metal to get through... THE ENTRIES: [326] duridium alloy [327] duritanium alloy [328] Durken, Chancellor Avel [329] Durst, Peter [330] dust shrouds NOTES:  [326] You can't double the damage of both damage counters on the same turn. Minuses to RANGE, WEAPONS, SHIELDS and HULL are all doubled. If a personnel had to die as part of the damage, two die instead. Source: Referenced in "By Inferno's Light"; pic from "Doctor Bashir, I Presume?" [327] For facilities, non-scouting objectives, et al., the mission is Space. For seeding dilemmas and sending Away Teams, it's planet. That means, the Borg must scout it like a planet to Establish Gateway there, for example. Space dilemmas do not seed here. Planetary Artifacts don't (they are not mentioned on the card). Source: "Dreadnought" [328] Durken may suspend First Contact's points (they do not count) if he is on the surface. He is seeded at Malcor III like Marista Yale and joins the A...

[D 321-325] Durantium to Durg

The toughest wall? Well, maybe not in the game... THE ENTRIES: [321] duranium [322] duranja (no card required) [323] Duras (no card required) [324] Durenia IV [325] Durg NOTES:  [321] On total hand weapon bonus: Two Disruptor Rifles (+6) would be enough to pass the wall, a regular Disruptor plus a Rifle (+5) would not. Source: Referenced all over Star Trek [322] Duranja was an event in the Deep Space Nine expansion. [323] Duras has had a card since the Basic Set. [324] This planet was just a destination the Enterprise was diverted from in "Remember Me". I made it a "what if" scenario in which Wesley decided to show off his static warp bubble experiment when they got there undiverted. Source: Referenced in "Remember Me" [325] Deuridium is a card in AtoZ [D185]. Source: "The Passenger" Next up: We got more metal to get through. Cards: Duranium Wall, Show Subspace Experiment, Durg

[D 316-320] Dunlap to Durango

Going multi-genre... THE ENTRIES: [316] Dunlap, Nigel [317] duonetic field (no card required) [318] duotronic probe [319] duotronics [320] Durango Decipher's version for comparison: NOTES:  [316] When Sniper is in play, its owner may probe at the site of a personnel battle. If Dunlap is at that location, THEN he can prevent the probe. Source: Referenced in "A Simple Investigation" (I've decided to cast him as Patrick Macnee, not just because he was Steed in The Avengers, but partnered with Bond in A View to a Kill - and can't you just see Odo playing this role?) [317] Already exists a planet dilemma in the Deep Space Nine expansion. [318] Classifications appearing as skills don't count here, so you could have an OFFICER with ENGINEER and an ENGINEER together (as a two-man Away Team) and still go on. "Mission attempt" means the Borg are immune to this. Source: "Fair Trade" [319] The original design talked about "time periods" and r...

[D 311-315] Dukat to Dunbar

Hey, we don't have a full Journey's End set yet... THE ENTRIES: [311] Dukat, Gul (no card required) [312] Dulisian IV [313] Dulmer [314] Dumont, Ensign Suzanne [315] Dunbar Decipher's version for comparison: NOTES:  [311] The Deep Space Nine expansion of course gave us a Dukat card. [312] It is not, itself, in the Neutral Zone. Source: Referenced in "Unification II" [313] Couldn't resist putting an X-joke in there, since Dulmer and Lucsly are parodies of Mulder and Scully from The X-Files. The X isn't in your usual font, but in the X-Files typewriter style (this joke was designed 25+ years ago when the dream cards were just textual). Dulmer was then made into a card in The Trouble with Tribbles expansion (included for comparison). Source: "Trials and Tribble-ations" [314] Works both with ship Sites and Nor Sites. Universal, an army of her could relocate entire Away Teams (as long as they were all Suzannes or accompanying males) along the Site lin...

[D 306-310] Dublin to Duffy

Today: A future Starfleet Corps of Engineers personnel? THE ENTRIES: [306] Dublin [307] Duchamps [308] duck blind [309] "Duet" (no card required) [310] Duffy, Lieutenant Decipher's version for comparison: NOTES:  [306] Just a fun one. Yes, O'Brien Founder and the Romulan Chief O'Brien are affected. "Potential requirement" means they're not a must, just a possibility, as if an "OR an O'Brien" had been added to the card. Source: Referenced in "Homefront" [307] IS a personna of Worf (following a pattern I set with Honey Bare), but Worf cannot be switched with Duchamps where a hologram could not exist. Decipher also took this tack when they produced their version in Holodeck Adventures (included for comparison). Source: "Our Man Bashir" [308] A 5-point bonus and a way around one of the rarer skills, unless you're using it to hide your personnel from attack? Source: "Who Watches The Watchers" [309] I was goi...

[D 301-305] Drovana to Duana

THE ENTRIES: [301] Drovana, IKS [302] "Drumhead, The" (no card required) [303] DS9 (no card required) [304] dualitic inverter [305] Duana NOTES:  [301] The Encyclopedia refers to it as the Drovna. Mine Disputed Region is an AtoZ objective [A212] . Source: "Sons of Mogh" [302] Already exists as Drumhead, a space dilemma from the Blaze of Glory expansion. [303] Exists as the Deep Space Nine expansion's station's Deep Space 9. [304] Sorry, Borg Cube points need not apply. Source: Referenced in "Starship Down" (chosen because it looks like a sonic screwdriver and the card "reversing the polarity" like it's Doctor Who) [305] Source: "When The Bough Breaks" Next up: A future Starfleet Corps of Engineers personnel? Cards: IKS Drovana, Dualitic Inverter, Duana
